Aurel Kolnai (1900–1973) was a distinguished moral and political philosopher. His books include The War against the West (1938), Ethics, Value and Reality (1977), The Utopian Mind and Other Papers (1995), Political Memoirs (1999), Privilege and Liberty and Other Essays in Political Philosophy (1999), and Politics, Values, and National Socialism (2013). A refugee from central Europe, he taught philosophy at the University of Laval from 1945 until 1955 and was visiting lecturer in ethics at Bedford College at the University of London from 1959 until his death. An early critic of National Socialist and Communist totalitarianism, he became, after 1944, an articulate proponent of classical European conservative political philosophy. His essays in moral philosophy were informed by a vigorous defense of an “objective” moral order and the universality of ethical norms.
